I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 232
I am not a regressor Episode 232:
A hero for little things (2)
“Shuwik shuiik!”
An unpleasant clanking sound, like scratching an iron plate with a fingernail.
A monster with front legs bent like an L shape like a sickle flapped its wings and flew up.
“oh! mister! “Up and up!”
Io shouts in an urgent voice.
Unlike Io, who was panicking, Ojin looked up at the monster flying high with calm eyes and gently raised his spear.
“Shhh!”
The monster flew about 30 meters high and swung its scythe-like front legs wildly.
Pure white sword energy formed on the monster’s front legs and shot out fiercely.
A sword with cutting power so strong that it can split even thick iron plates in one go.
“No, now some monster is even using black.”
Where on earth did they get these monsters?
Ojin smiled and looked up at the white sword energy pouring down at an incredible speed.
‘The Stigmata of the Hourglass.’
A world slowed down like a slow motion video.
Avoid the rain of white sword energy with leisurely movements.
Just barely enough to pass by the collar.
Minimize movement and drastically reduce movement to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
“Shhh?!”
A light of astonishment appeared in the hideous eyes that looked like the eyes of a fly.
Would a person walking leisurely down a street in heavy rain react that way if they found that not even a single layer of their clothes was wet?
The monster sensed something was wrong with its animalistic intuition and flew even higher, flapping its wings wildly.
“Hiss!” Shhh!”
A human without wings would not be able to reach this height.
The monster, having secured its safety, calmed its excitement and lowered its head.
“Even if you can use sword techniques, you’re still stupid.”
Ohjin raised the corners of his mouth with a grin and aimed his wire shooter at the monster floating in the air.
Taang!
Six lines of wire shot like arrows wrapped around the monster’s body.
“Shhh!”
The monster urgently twisted its body and swung its sickle-like front paws back and forth.
Ojin’s body rose into the air like a pendulum hanging at the end of a rope thanks to his incredible strength.
“Oh man! “It’s dangerous!”
Io looked up at Ojin, who was pushed high into the air by the monster’s strength, and shouted with a pale expression.
“It’s dangerous.”
By stepping on the thunderbolt, it flew higher than the monster flying in the air.
Ojin is on his back in the air.
“It’s not me, it’s that mantis bastard.”
Siiiiing!
With the roar of a motor running, the wire connected to the monster contracted at high speed.
Ojin aimed his spear downward and fell at an incredible speed due to gravity and the acceleration of the wire.
‘thunderstroke.’
It’s a joke!
A ray of blue lightning pierced the monster’s body.
The monster’s body, which died instantly without even being able to utter a scream of death, was torn into pieces and poured out.
“Whoa.”
Three green ones and one blue one.
Oh Jin smiled slightly as he looked at the points that had accumulated to nearly 300.
‘But as I kill everyone I see along the way, I secretly accumulate points.’
Of course, if I had only focused on hunting monsters without Io, I could have accumulated more points.
“Mister, you’re so cool!” “You just looked really cool!”
When I saw Io making a fuss and her eyes shining, I felt a sense of regret.
“Anyway, aren’t you hungry?”
It’s been two hours since I moved with Io.
I don’t know how long I had been waiting in the forest, but it was time to get hungry.
“I’m hungry!”
Io, who was excited and seemed to be drooling from her mouth, approached Ohjin closely.
“Then at least eat some of this.”
“What’s this?”
“Calorie bar.”
Just one bite is enough to fill you up.
“…Do you always carry something like this with you?”
“Two of these are enough to last a day.”
I haven’t eaten it often since I got scolded by Riak last time, but in the past, calorie bars were a staple food and were a highly efficient food for the price.
“Hey. “It’s very unexpected.”
“Are you surprised?”
Io took a bite of a calorie bar and continued.
“When you say ‘Noerang’, the image is that you are a natural genius. So I thought he was an elite born from a good family.”
“Like Namgoonghwi?”
“Oh yeah! “That’s right!”
I smiled as I looked at Io, who nodded with bright eyes.
I never thought that ordinary people would have such an image of themselves.
“I’m from an orphanage too.”
“Wow, really?”
Io opens her eyes wide with a surprised expression.
“Why are you disappointed because it’s different from your image?”
“no! In fact, it got even better!”
Io smiled and clenched his two small fists.
“Then when I awaken later, I can become a great hero like you?!”
I don’t know if I’m someone who deserves to be called a ‘cool hero’.
Oh Jin patted Io’s head with a faint smile.
“Yes, it can be done.”
“lol. “It was fate that I met you here!”
Oh Jin turned around, leaving behind Io, who was smiling brightly.
“Let’s move slowly.”
“yes!”
Io followed closely behind Ojin.
I think it took about 10 minutes like that.
Shoot!
A cool wind mixed with water blew along with the refreshing sound of the waterfall.
‘Have we crossed into underwater terrain?’
The terrain that Ojin initially targeted.
As the name suggests, it is an underwater terrain, and a strong river was flowing under a huge waterfall.
“Wow! mister! “Look at the waterfall, it’s a waterfall!”
Io jumped up and down, clapping his hands like a seal in water.
“Watch your step.”
I don’t know what kind of artificial device was used, but a huge torrent of water was flowing.
The torrent is so strong that even an awakened person can be swept away by the river if he or she falls out of balance, but if a helpless person were to fall in, there would be nothing to think about after that.
‘Since I’m here, let’s catch some monsters.’
As expected, there seemed to be no other awakened people around━
“Hmm?”
“uh? “Man, there’s someone flying over there, right?”
A strong wind blowing over the rushing river water.
I saw a handsome young man riding the wind and flying like a noble immortal.
It was Namgung-hwi, an awakened person who Oh Jin had also seen before.
“Hmm. “I didn’t know I’d meet Noerang here.”
Namgoonghwi looked at Ohjin and raised the corners of his mouth.
He looked at Io, who was standing behind Ojin, and his eyes sparkled with interest.
“I think you’re looking for the safety zone.”
Nam Gung Hwi laughed and spoke mockingly.
“It’s been a while since the competition started, and I’m disappointed that you still haven’t found the safety zone.”
“I guess you found it?”
“Hehe. of course. “I just safely guided someone to the safety zone.”
Namgoonghwi shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
He approached Io and asked in a coy voice.
“Our cute little girl. Won’t you follow me instead of that guy? Then, I will guide you straight to the safety zone.”
A tone similar to that of a dangerous man trying to lure a child with candy.
“If you just go into the safety zone, there’s no danger anymore, right? “If it were me, I could take you straight to the safety zone.”
Namgoonghwi smiled brightly and suggested in a soft voice.
From Io’s perspective, it was a good opportunity to go straight into the safety zone without having to risk following Ojin.
“no, I do not want!”
Io hugged Ojin’s arm tightly and shouted with a confident expression.
“I like my brother more than you!”
“Is that so?”
Namgoonghwi’s brightly smiling expression cracked.
Oh Jin burst into laughter as he looked at Nam Gung Hwi, who was shaking his fist with an awkward smile.
“You got kicked twice?”
“Everyone, shut up!”
Namgung-hwi shouted with a red face.
For him, who was born into the best family in China and lived like a prince, as they say, such a decisive rejection was an unknown experience that he had rarely experienced.
“And who doesn’t know where the safety zone is?”
“…Weren’t you looking for the safety zone?”
“Yeah, I was looking for it.”
Until you came.
‘The hunting dog of Jiknyeo Castle.’
Pajik Pajik.
A faint electric current extends in all directions.
My sense of smell, which had become extremely sensitive, traced back the path Namgung-hwi’s scent had taken.
Namgoonghwi’s travel route drawn in my mind.
“It’s 3km to the southeast… so it’s not that far.”
“…!”
Namgoong Hwi opened his mouth with an expression of astonishment.
“How on earth do you do that?”
“How did you find it? “You told me.”
Oh Jin looked at Nam Gung Hwi and smiled.
“When did I…!”
As Namgung-hwi was about to ask a question, the electric currents that had just spread out in all directions came to mind.
“You had tracking skills.”
Namgoong Hwi chewed his lips and distorted his expression fiercely.
Ohjin shrugged his shoulders and turned away sheepishly.
“Then thank you for letting me know~ I was already having a hard time finding it.”
The sound of giggling laughter echoes along the river.
“….”
Nam Gung-hwi’s expression turned cold.
A faint life bloomed.
“If you’re going to do something stupid, you’d better stop. “You know that candidates shouldn’t attack each other, right?”
Oh Jin looked back at Nam Gung Hwi who was furious and said.
“Of course I know.”
The corners of Namgoonghwi’s mouth twitched up.
“But isn’t it inevitable that accidents will happen in life?”
Namgoonghwi took out a fan from his pocket and glared at Ohjin with fierce eyes.
“Yes… For example, I lost my footing in a sudden gust of wind and was swept away by a torrent.”
Hehehe!
A sudden gust of wind.
Ojin’s body, swept away by a gust of wind, floated up and fell into the strong flowing river.
“Oh man!”
Io called out to Ojin in an urgent voice.
“A waterfall collapses due to a sudden whirlpool.”
Sigh!
Namgoonghwi spread his fan wide and swung it wide in the direction of the waterfall.
A huge whirlpool was created and struck the rock wall where the waterfall was located.
Kuggeuggeuung!
The rock wall collapsed and a huge amount of water poured out as if a dam had collapsed.
“Hehe. “I saw from above that there were a lot of underwater monsters above the waterfall.”
Dozens of monsters mixed in with the pouring water poured down like rain.
The monsters that fell into the rapids quickly cut through the current and swam towards Ojin.
“All sorts of things are happening in this world.”
Namgoonghwi takes flight with a shameless attitude.
“In an emergency situation like this, I can only save one person with my abilities… It’s just pathetic.”
“Aaaah! “Let go of this!”
The wind created by Namgung-hwi enveloped Io’s body and lifted it into the air.
He smiled bitterly as he looked down at Ojin, who was swept away by the swollen river when the rock wall collapsed.
“I know.”
Oh Jin, who was pushed by the wind and swept by the rapids, was swimming the rapids very leisurely, contrary to Namgung-hwi’s expectations.
It’s as relaxing as taking a dip in a calm, warm pool.
-Tiring!
[The surroundings are filled with the energy of water!]
[The efficiency of the 《Water-friendly Lv MAX》 skill increases explosively!]
[The power of ‘Stigmata of the Seahorse’ increases significantly, allowing free movement and breathing underwater. This becomes possible!]
Oh Jin cleared away the blue message window that appeared in front of him and leisurely looked up at Nam Gung Hwi who was flying in the air.
“There’s really a lot going on in the world, right?”
Not only does it not tell you the location of the safety zone, it turns the entire area into a sea of water and even drives monsters to farm for points.
“If you give it away like this, what will be left?”
Ojin smiled brightly as he looked at the monsters coming from all directions.
